Education

At Amira Tara Music Production, we offer immersive workshops that introduce participants to the vibrant world of Middle Eastern music and percussion. Open to all experience levels, our sessions delve into the unique elements of this musical tradition, including maqams (melodic scales), taqasim (improvisation), and iqa’at (rhythmic cycles), as well as the use of traditional instruments like the Darabuka, Riq, Duff, and Ney flute. We are able to cater for group workshops as well as one to one tuition and traditional instruments are provided for participants.
